Yesterday I clicked on the automatic upgrade to 2.8 but had to discontinue and close the browser after clicking the "Automatic Upgrade" button.
This morning, when I try to log in, after entering the password, it gives me this error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function _cleanup_header_comment() in C:\websites\vistabella\blog\wp-admin\includes\plugin.php on line 89
PLEASE help. Anyone?
:(
temporarily rename your plugins folder
log in
rename it correctly and re-activate plugins

just to sum up:
1) delete current wp-admin folder
2) download 2.8
3) copy downloaded/new wp-admin folder from unzipped files and paste into same location where old wp-admin was
am i getting this correct?
are all our blogs and themes/blog design safe in this process?

you need to delete what is is inside wp-includes/
then upload the fresh 2.8 files.
Note I said wp-includes/ -- NOT -- wp-admin/includes
as was suggested before.
